Recipe - Down Home Taters And Beans With Bacon

1 pound Bacon (Oh, officer! Have a
bowl!)
5 pound Potatoes, depending on size
of gathering, freezer, or
your family's appetite (up
to l0)
1 pound FRESH green beans, depending
on amount of potatoes (up
to 3)

Dice potatoes into One half to 1 inch pieces, depending on your patience or
expertise with a knife, or whatever you consider bite sized

Slice the bacon into slivers or chunks, according to preference

Snap those beans into whatever size pieces you prefer

Cover with water and bring to a boil: reduce heat to simmer, cover pot and
stay out of the kitchen except for the occasional stir and poke for about
two hours.

My friend told me her mama seasoned this with salt (!) and pepper. I dice
up onions, garlic and sweet and/or hot pepper and add lots of dillweed and
pepper. I tried frying the bacon and pouring off the fat but it wasn't as
wonderful...maybe you and the cholesterol police would prefer it this way.

I've used the turkey bacon with no appreciable diminution of delectibility.

This could be a roundrobin recipie...send me your input, as we love this
stuff and are open to suggestions. My name is Benita, my friend's name is
Debbie, and we live in the horribly notorious Cass Corridor in Detroit, MI,
which ain't all that bad. Thank you David @ clam.rutgers, whoever you are,
because my husband and I love all the recipies and love getting email that
isn't junk stuff when we go online.

Please don't add us to any wierd mailing lists. We are already drowning.
